Charging the Battery
GB
Use the charging unit that is packaged with the FMHT77595
laser to charge the laser's Li-ion battery.
1.
Insert the electrical plug at one end of the charging unit
into an electrical outlet (Figure
2.
On the back of the laser, pull the port cover off and to the
side (Figure
B 2
3.
Insert the small end of the charging unit into the
laser's charging port (Figure
4.
Allow the battery time to fully-charge. The Power LED will
remain on while the battery is charging.
5.
After the Power LED turns off, disconnect the charging unit
from the electrical outlet and the laser's charging port.
6.
Push the port cover back over the laser's charging port.
Whenever the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport
Lock switch to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position
(Figure
) to save battery power.

Turning the Laser On
1.
Place the laser on a smooth, flat, level surface.
2.
Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to the
Unlocked/ON position (Figure

On the keypad (Figure

is flashing, this means that the battery level
is below 5%.
• The laser may continue to operate for a short time while
the battery power continues to drain, but the laser lines
will quickly dim.
• After the laser is fully-charged and the laser is turned ON
again, the laser lines will return to full brightness.

laser line, and a third time to display a horizontal line and
a vertical line.
5.
Check the laser beams. The laser is designed to self-level.
If the laser is tilted so much that it cannot self-level (> 4°),
the laser beams will continually flash twice and
constantly on the keypad (Figure

If the laser beams flash, the laser is not level (or plumb)
and should NOT BE USED for determining or marking level
or plumb. Try repositioning the laser on a level surface.

beams will appear lighter, since they are flashing at a very
rapid rate. You will only use Pulse mode with a detector to
project the laser beams long range.

If ANY of the following statements are TRUE, continue with
the instructions for Checking Laser Accuracy BEFORE
USING THE LASER for a project.
• This is the first time you are using the laser (in case
the laser was exposed to extreme temperatures).
• The laser has not been checked for accuracy in
a while.
• The laser may have been dropped.
Checking Laser Accuracy
The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory. It
is recommended that you perform an accuracy check prior
to using the laser for the first time (in case the laser was
exposed to extreme temperatures) and then regularly to
ensure the accuracy of your work. When performing any of the
accuracy checks listed in this manual, follow these guidelines:
• Use the largest area/distance possible, closest to the
operating distance. The greater the area/distance, the easier
to measure the accuracy of the laser.
• Place the laser on a smooth, flat, stable surface that is level
in both directions.
• Mark the center of the laser beam.
Horizontal Line Accuracy - Level
Checking the level of the laser's horizontal line requires a flat
vertical surface at least 9m (30') wide.
